Can I round up???
Ok starting a Carpenter's Wheel redrafted by Karen Coombs for a wedding gift.
It calls for 4 7/8 squares to be sewn and cut into HSTs. I don't mind doing the 7/8 but am I better off rounding up to 5 inches?
Every time I have used the 7/8, the pieces go together beautifully but it seems I am always short on the overall block and end up cutting off some points (consistency, that hobgoblin of quilting...) but would I have better luck if I allow a leetle more wiggle room?
